Subject: [PATCH v5] lib/vsprintf: defer filling siphash key on RT

On RT, we can't call get_random_bytes() from inside of the raw locks
that callers of vsprintf might take, because get_random_bytes() takes
normal spinlocks. So on those RT systems, defer the siphash key
generation to a worker.

We also do the deferal for CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING systems, which
catches RT issues on non-RT. Branching on CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING
is partly awful, as it basically defeats the purpose of lockdep. But in
this case, it really generates incorrect splats.

Also, avoid using a static_branch, as this isn't the fast path.

Sebastian - again, feel free to take this and modify it as needed. Just
posting ideas... -Jason
